Pretty cool  I too love the satins. Funny, when the mint was still making them, I read a lot of complaints about them. Now I think more are seeing the lower mintages and how they are, in most cases, a higher grade. I see more people putting a set of them together. Have you noticed that some year/mint are not as satin as other years/mint. |

Looks great!
For us naive Canadians, what is the difference between satin and circulation finish?

I'm not sure about the die making process that gives them the satin finish, but between 2005-2010 the uncirculated P and D mint sets contained these satin finish coins, as opposed to the regular "shinier" variety which was still available in the uncirculated business strike rolls. It's just one more nit picky variety I had to collect to call the collection complete, you know how that goes.. |

Very nice. I did something similar, but I collect Mint Sets so my Dansco albums hold the non-satin coins. You may want to consider blocking out the unused ports. Here is mine with an explanation of how I did everything: http://www.larsdog.com/coins/nonsatin.htm |

The lettering is not the same font as the Dansco albums. I didn't check for that because I used some gold letters I already had for my stamp collection. Checking for a better font match may well be worth the effort. |
